Editorially Speaking

“A person who wrote badly did better than a person who does not write at all. A bad writing can be corrected. An empty page remains an empty page.”

A good friend, who has helped a lot with my writing and kept me going over a few bumps, asked me to take a look at some of his work, so I’ve been splitting my time between that and my own projects.

For the record, it was a very good story and since he’s probably reading this, he’d better submit his work or I won’t be happy!

To be fair though, it was a humbling thing. When a story is being written it’s yours, you want to keep it safe and hide it, protect it from critics and the harsh words that can wreck it, because once you’ve finished it, it’s perfect and you know it backwards. The feeling you get finishing a project – no matter how many words it is – is a great one.

Being able to help with something like that, dear Reader, is a similar feeling. Good luck with your submission RJ.
